Hehehe LOL yeah they are kinda "off". By the looks of it, the previous owner re-touched the bars with i guess liquid paper. Then im guessing he messed up, and tried to correct the outline with a ball point pen Hahahahaha LOL They work just fine tho ;) Thanks!!!

Well, let's just say that down here, you have to shoot at least 2.5K rounds a month for it to be mildly cost effective. And thats after .state permits and a boat load of stamps ;) But yeah, im playing with the idea of jumping in.

:confused: I would just open a thread on the modern's section. You may get your answer there ;) J

Will do!! I know for a fact that this gun was well cared for. But still it might need some lube down there. What lube should i use for the internals? Grease, ball bearing grease, light gun oil, Mobil 1 Fully syn? Thanks guys!! J

Hey guys, i recently bought a used 686-1 (M) revolver and today i noticed something strange. Sometimes when i drop the hammer using my thumb, the hammer catches on some sort of "half-cock" and stays there until i either pull the trigger or return it to "cocked" I was wondering if this is...

Yeah, i think even if the thing needs some work it's a no brainer to jump on it. I'll drive down tomorrow to pick it up and, if time permits it, send some rounds down the pipe to see how she handles. I'll be sure to post pics of the Range Report!!! Thanks for all the input guys, much...

Got it!! Thanks for the input. J

Yeah, this im gonna do the second im handed the weapon. J

Thanks, i'll make sure to hit these!! J

Thanks man!!! J
